Examples
“Puerum bāsiāvī frūgālissimum, non propter fōrmam, sed quia frūgī est: decem partēs dīcit, librum ab oculō legit, thraecium sibi dē diāriīs fēcit, arcisellium dē suō parāvit et duās trullās. Nōn est dignus quem in oculīs feram? Sed Fortūnāta vetat. Ita tibi vidētur, fulcipedia? Suādeō, bonum tuum concoquās, milva, et mē nōn faciās ringentem, amasiuncula: aliōquīn experīris cerebrum meum.”
I kissed the virtuous boy, not because of his looks, but because he's worthy: he says the multiplication of ten, reads a book from sight, got himself a Thracian suit of armour from his daily allowance, bought a round-backed chair from his own money and two ladles. Is he not worthy to hold dear? But Fortunata is against it. Do you see it that way, fulcipedia? I advise you to put up with your good life, she-kite, and not make me angry, dear: otherwise you're testing my brain.
